Today we see what the Lord tells us about Christian behavior, Christian faith, and Christian works. Of course the world has its version of each one. We see this played out in the media every day, and we see it exercised by people who claim a relationship with Christ, but live far from it. We need the prescription from the Lord Jesus more than ever today as we finish this wonderful book of scripture.

“The Prescription”, James 1. In much of my pastoral counseling, I “prescribe” Bible reading, prayer, and physically walking. Even though the book of James is only 5 chapters, it is a remarkable book to “get back on track” with our walk with God. The new year is a wonderful time to check ourselves to make sure we are saved and truly a servant of the Most High God. Quit making excuses and get right with the Lord in 2026. It starts today!
